My brother asked me why I am blogging. I thought of it. And I think it’s because I want to share what I see, experience, and go through. Plus with my glaucoma... a record of the beautiful and ugly that I have gone through, so that my son and daughter can see what I have seen, to understand who and why I am.
Welcome.

Service

Some may think this is racist, but I want to make it clear that its not. Its just my observation, my past experiences, of going to so many different foodstalls, restaurants etc. Maybe because I am not Chinese, Indian, or Malay? Partially also because of the incident at lunch today.

This is my past experience (A generalization of course). If you had different, please do share.If I go to a Chinese restaurant, food service is fast, efficient, yet mostly somewhat lacking in geniality and camradrie.If I go to a Indian Muslim (Mamak) restaurant, food service is generally fast, quite efficient, and very genial and friendly, with constant request for me to order more and how's the food.If I go to a Malay restaurant, I wait (even the good ones). The orders are mixed up. The service bad. The staff are not at all friendly.

And I go to many restaurants, stalls etc! Drinks with Boss or HoD, lunches here and there, with anyone and everyone. Thats why many a times I just prefer to go out alone to a Chinese stall near the University for lunch. Service is fast, efficient and friendly.

This could be a research question... hmmm... should get a Master student to look into this, maybe from a management viewpoint and compare against ethnic groups.. ha ha ha. Its always work, work, work...

Loyalty

IfYou work for a manIn Heaven's name, work for himSpeak well of him andStand by the institution he representsRemember ...An ounce of loyaltyIs worth a pound of cleverness

IfYou must growl, condemn andeternally find fault,Resign your positionAnd when you are on the outsideDamn to your heart's contentButAs long as you are part of the InstitutionDo not condemn itIf you doThe first high wind that comes alongwill blow you awayAnd probably you will never know why
